FAQs - Climate Change & Environment
How are you planning for a climate resilient community?
The Official Plan must be consistent with Provincial Direction including growth projections for the Town. The Town has a three pronged strategy that aims to accommodate growth in a sustainable manner through intensification in existing urban areas, designated greenfield areas and designated employment areas.
If provincial and federal environmental requirements are reduced, will the Town consider voluntary standards that exceed requirements?
There are some environmental requirements that are set by the federal and provincial governments that must be adhered to. However, the Official Plan is a local plan and any opportunities to create policies that support environmental protection and stewardship will be supported through this project.
